A man who suffocated his 14-year-old Brooklyn girlfriend because he thought she was pregnant then burned her corpse and stuffed it in a suitcase asked if he could do only community service for the crime, court papers reveal.
After confessing to killing Shaniesha Forbes in January 2013, Christian Ferdinand, 22, asked cops, Do you think I can get some kind of community service? according to documents obtained by The Post.
A Brooklyn jury took just an hour Monday to find Ferdinand guilty of second-degree murder for the heinous crime ensuring that he now faces up to 25 years to life behind bars.
The evil killer dropped his head on the courtroom table when the verdict was read aloud.

We live in a culture of violence against women.

Rot in jail, creep...

My heart breaks for that little girl and her family.

(13,305 posts)I mean yes, anyone who could do something like this has mental issues. But I mean in terms of asking that question or even thinking it's a possibility. Even the most cold blooded of killers are aware of what punishment they face for their crimes and likely wouldn't even entertain that as a notion.

If I eat fatty foods that cause heart disease, but don't ever believe I'll have heart disease, I'm insane as well?
You should probably rethink all of that.
You're really comparing the two?
And yes, if someone really believes that their body is immune from proven effects of actions I would say that person suffers from delusions.
Most people that do the things you listed at least realize and understand that there is a chance of the effects you listed. They may be rolling the dice on them being able to beat the odds. And if they legitimately do not believe that they themselves can have it happen to them, then yes I would say that is a delusion and it is bordering on a mental issue.

EDIT: Not even 24 hours after killing his girlfriend, this little shit checks into a hotel with his ex....

(12,778 posts)he's a moron to boot. How could a 22-year-old man think he was going to get community service for killing his 14-year-old girlfriend? I'm guessing he was never destined to be a brain surgeon in the first place.

The wrong started there. Shame on him for that alone.
But prison will suffice for the murder.
